Akken, provider of the cloud-based all-in-one business management suite for staffing and recruitment firms, announced at Staffing World last week that it has added net payroll processing capability to AKKEN Staffing, in addition to its existing integration with QuickBooks and third party payroll service providers. AKKEN Staffing now provides the most complete and flexible set of options for payroll management. To improve visibility into business operations, AKKEN also introduced new customizable dashboards that aggregate and present front to back office performance metrics in graphical form.
TempWorks CEO Gregg Dourgarian said in a statement, “When my father wrote the ancestor programs from which the current TempWorks database evolved, his vision was to remove the stress and disorganization which he felt crippled his former employer and turn his newly minted Manpower franchise into a technological innovator and a role model for other firms in our market.”
Donald E. Breckenridge Jr. is the co-founder and president of Sendouts, which develops and markets Sendouts Pro, the leading on-demand applicant tracking system for the recruitment industry. Under Breckenridge’s leadership and vision, Sendouts has grown into a profitable software company serving more than 850 recruitment firms internationally and serving more than 5,000 users.
Prior to Sendouts.com, Breckenridge founded Integratia, a firm specializing in database and Internet development and contract placement. With the rapid growth of Integratia, Breckenridge realized the need to a robust software system to facilitate the talent acquisition process to fulfill customer needs.
In recognizing this window of opportunity, Breckenridge raised over $4 million from private investors and venture capital firm Gryphon Investments LLLP to launch Sendouts.com. In this process, Breckenridge transitioned the resources and programmers from Integratia to Sendouts, which enabled rapid development of the Sendouts Pro application. Breckenridge has since dissolved Integratia in order to focus entirely on Sendouts.
Breckenridge holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration concentrating in Finance from Washington University in St. Louis. In 2003, Breckenridge was included in St. Louis Business Journal’s “30 under 30″ representing overachieving professionals under the age of 30.
